Hello.. I recently spent hours searching through these forums for an answer to my goal summarized in the subject of this posting, with no luck. I did find the most relevant thread over in the 'Feature Requests' forum, and posted a detailed reply there. But since this issue is specific to Mac OS X VLC, I will also put my message here.
---
What I am trying to do is establish VLC at the head end to stream SD and/or HD content captured in realtime via Firewire from the Firewire output of my Motorola 6xxx-series HD/DVR Set-Top Box. I have installed the Apple Firewire SDK and am able to use the tools there (AVCBrowser to connect, and subsequently VirtualDVHS to capture) a MPEG2 Transport Stream ('.ts' file on windows or '.m2t' file on Mac OS X). (Note: if you are interested in doing this step, the best documentation can be found iin PDFs online at http://mac_hdtv_timer.home.comcast.net/)
Once I have this TS file, I am able to use VLC to stream it to clients on my network.
What I want to do, but have been unable to figure out so far, is how to instead of first capturing a TS file using VirutalDVHS, and subsequently streaming that file, what I really want to do is stream the live feed that is coming in on my Firewire port without first being forced to record it to a static file.
I have spent hours researching this topic and have not found a solution. If my head end server were running Linux, it seems I could run a utility called DVGrab, part of the Linux Digital Video ('Kino') project. The suggestion is that you can pipe DVGrab's output into VLC on the command line. However, I don't think it is possible to get DVGrab working on Mac OS X / Darwin (maybe I am missing something, but it relies on some libraries that appeared to me at least to have some Linux Kernel dependencies).
So, I am back to square one. The request here is a pretty mainstream request. The only way to acquire a video signal for streaming is from a file, a DVD, or a capture device. I have trouble believeing there is no way to get VLC to stream video from a capture device on OS X. Does anyone have any suggestions??

If this really truly does work for certain on the Windows implementation of VLC, that would be useful to know as well. If that is the case, I will get a cheap PC and use that at my headend. But before taking that step, I would want to know for sure that it would work. Thanks.
